I'm trying to determine what to make of this:
Florida surgeon general recommends against mRNA COVID-19 vaccines for men ages 18-39: 'FL will not be silent on the truth'
Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo is recommending against mRNA COVID-19 vaccines for men in the 18-39 age range. Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines fall into this category.
The Sunshine State's health department "conducted an analysis through a self-controlled case series" that "found there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination," according to the guidance.
"Based on currently available data, patients should be informed of the possible cardiac complications that can arise after receiving a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group," the guidance states.
"Studying the safety and efficacy of any medications, including vaccines, is an important component of public health," Ladapo said, according to a press release. "Far less attention has been paid to safety and the concerns of many individuals have been dismissed - these are important findings that should be communicated to Floridians."

There was a peer reviewed report that came out on JAMA recently which showed that the vaccine mRNAs were being detected in the breast milk of lactating women, which is a significant problem since even the FDA doesn't recommend infants under 6 months getting vaccinated. No worries though, being well informed of this in advance, I'm sure all those mother's held off on the breastfeeding until their kid was at least 6 months old.

Trust your government. they are here to help you.

PUBLISHED TUE, OCT 11 20222:09 AM EDT
The Bank launched its emergency intervention on Sep. 28 after an unprecedented sell-off in long-dated U.K. government bonds threatened to collapse multiple liability driven investment (LDI) funds, widely held by U.K. pension schemes.
“The beginning of this week has seen a further significant repricing of UK government debt, particularly index-linked gilts. Dysfunction in this market, and the prospect of self-reinforcing ‘fire sale’ dynamics pose a material risk to UK financial stability,” the bank said in a statement Tuesday.
U.K. 10-year index-linked gilt yields rose by 64 basis points on Monday, representing a massive 5.5% fall in price. Meanwhile 30-year index-linked gilt prices were down 16% on the day, with yields now at around 1.5%, having been at -1.5% just six months ago. Yields move inversely to prices.
Moves of this magnitude are highly unusual in developed world sovereign bond markets.

SF is just as bad anymore. Crime there is awful on both sides of the bridge now. We actually skipped a day in SF this year cause of it -- no reason to give that **** city any of my tourism dollars.

the science is always lying to you.
another conspiracy theory proven correct...
I will however concede, a “vaccine” that does not prevent transmission makes sense for a science-worshipping society which says men can get pregnant.

At any rate, I'm far less concerned by the New York Times' assessment of Russia's conventional warfare capacity than I am of the fact that we now have not one but two countries tacitly suggesting the use of tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield, and seemingly have the capability to back that up.
Remember back when the #VoteBlue crowd were terrified that it was going to be Trump who led the US headfirst into a nuclear war?
Those were simpler times...

I dunno why you care about WWIII when there is climate change, racism, and transgenders' preferred pronouns to worry about.
trust us.
funny this was signed the same day that Pfizer admitted "get the vaccine to protect others" was a blatant lie.
science is consensus, trust [political] science.

From a legal perspective, I mean. I'm not sure if this goes so far as to qualify as a case of first impression, but when it hits the court, I expect some really ingenuitive legal arguments to be made.
Thanks for that one.
On another note, it's interesting how the truth has tended to be sort of a moving target.
For instance, when President Trump made this statement in 2020...
... it would have been difficult, if not impossible, to foresee the Democrats and all of their mindless supplicants taking up that same torch and loudly echoing Trump's views on the benefits of vaccination.
But echo they did indeed, including our very own Rep. Sean Casten (D, IL):
... whose 17 year old daughter (not the one in the above tweet, the older one who was 16 at that time) experienced a sudden, unexpected, and completely inexplicable case of death earlier this year.
